Two years is not so short that it takes a blink of an eye, but it is not so long that it makes people feel that it has undergone tremendous changes. The community where I live is naturally the same as before. The underground parking lot that was noisy two years ago is not perfect now.
It has not been solved yet. The car still has to find a parking space in the park as before, but this situation is quite convenient for me now.
There is no need for an access card, and there is no need to scan my face to tell the security guard which family I belong to. I came in without any obstruction. It really can't be called a gated community.
I was still a little nervous when I got on the elevator. I knew that Master Li still lived across from me, but Zong Bao and Xiao Ni moved out after I went to Luomen Ridge, but I didn't ask where exactly they moved.
I haven't called him yet, and I don't know what Zong Bao will do if he knows I'm back. I seem to have been isolated from the world for too long, and suddenly I feel a little inexplicable nervousness when I have to see my friends and relatives.
Before going upstairs, I spent the last dollar in my pocket and bought a big bag of salt and some rags. I thought that the house had been empty for a long time, so it would naturally need to be cleaned before people could live in it. Who knew that as soon as the door opened, I would
I was stunned, and all I could see was two words, clean...
San Meier also looked at the bright house in front of her with some disbelief. She had not opened the windows for two years to let the air in. Both she and I subconsciously felt that when we opened the door, we would be greeted by dust. "Jiaolong, who are you calling?"
Did you say we were coming back?"
I shook my head: "No..."
I went straight into the house and walked through every room. The balcony window was still open, which meant that someone came to open and close the window sooner or later. The wintersweet branches were full of green leaves and looked full of life. I turned back and looked at the other flowers and plants in the room.
, and the branches and leaves are growing happily. It doesn’t look like an uninhabited house. It is obviously carefully maintained!
"Jiaolong, there are a lot of food in the refrigerator, including drinks, beer and fruits. There are also fast food, dumplings, wontons... Who bought it? It's so complete. You can eat half of these things even without cooking.
It’s a month!”
Third sister's exclamations continued: "Jiaolong! There is everything in the kitchen. I remember when we left, didn't we give all the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to the opposite door? Why are they still complete now!"
I walked directly into the bedroom. The bed my grandpa lived in still had a bedspread on it. The same thing happened in my house. My mother couldn't come back. According to what she said during the Chinese New Year, my grandpa had a whole yard of chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs that couldn't leave at all.
Open, then who has been taking care of this house.
"Zongbao, it's Zongbao."
When I open the refrigerator, I can confirm it when I see oranges. He knows that I like to eat oranges and other fruits, so when he buys them, he always only buys this one. Every time he gives me the feeling that he wants to give
I've eaten enough, and I left the key for Zong Bao when I left. This kid must be him.
"Is it Zong Bao?"
Sanmei'er nodded when she heard what I said: "I understand, he must be afraid that when you come back, the house will have to be thoroughly cleaned and shopping will be very hard, so he has been preparing for you to come back at any time, Jiaolong,
It’s very touching, isn’t it?”
I twitched the corner of my mouth and said, "This 8-year-old woman can keep fruit for how many days, and she has to change it frequently. Isn't it too much trouble for her?"
I took out my mobile phone and before it was completely out of battery, I directly dialed Zong Bao's number. It showed that the call was in progress. I raised my eyebrows slightly, brat, don't blame me for not being the first to tell you that I'm back.
The rest was easy. Except for the baby toy that was placed in my bedroom, I piled the rest on the open space next to the balcony where the old immortal was. No need for Sanmei'er to intervene. I squatted down.
I was busy arranging the toys by myself. After the third sister finished taking a bath, she called me and said, "Jiaolong, please take a bath and change clothes. I haven't had such a comfortable bath in a long time."
That's for sure. Bathing in rural areas is not very convenient. I have to pay more attention to my body. In winter, I wash my hands once a month at most. To get a basin, I have to ask my third sister to guard the door for me. It's really troublesome.
I'll do whatever I can with a wet towel. I bite my finger and drop some blood on the candy. Once that's done, the rest will be easy.
"What are you doing, Jiaolong..."
I stood up and looked at her with a smile, "I didn't do anything. You don't have to worry about these things. I'll change clothes and take a shower!"
Third sister looked at me and nodded: "Then I'll clean up the room where I sleep first, and you can wash it well."
I looked at her with some amusement: "Why do these words sound weird..."
The third sister's eyes were full of smiles: "Little husband, are you interested in underage bed-warmers?"
I smiled uncontrollably and walked up to her and flicked her forehead, "Can a minor say such things to you? Go and make your own bed!"
Maybe I have been depressed for too long in Luomenling. Sanmei'er and I spent a lot of time encouraging each other. We really didn't have the heart to make such jokes. But now that I'm back, I feel a lot more relaxed. I think
, this must be a good start, a must!
Opening my wardrobe, all the clothes were still neatly stacked inside. I took out a solid-color round-neck T-shirt and beige casual shorts. Take a look. This is the advantage of wearing men's clothing. It's as simple as you can make it. Guaranteed
It won’t be out of date in a few years. I took a shower very carefully, as if I wanted to wash away all the dust accumulated in my heart. Until I dried my body, I looked under me. Alas, my penis is still an eyesore.
The presence.
I put on some quick clothes and blew my hair in front of the mirror while looking at my face, which God had treated me well. I bared my teeth and gave a twisted smile. Unfortunately, no matter how much I treat you, time will give you fine lines.
I still give it, you can see it with a smile, I sighed inexplicably, I wrinkled my forehead like a pervert, stretched out my hand to touch the wrinkle lines, maybe, I should go to the hospital...
I have lost a lot of aunties. Obviously, I am still far away from the age of menopause at this age, and the reason why I have less is hormones. It is troublesome to receive treatment. If I don’t accept it, maybe I will be a weirdo who will go through menopause at the age of thirty-six or seventeen.
Ka, I don’t know why I care about my aunt. To be honest, I still find it troublesome if there are too many of them. An idea suddenly popped up in my mind. I was excited and shook my head vigorously: "What are you thinking about? Give birth to a child."
!”
"Jiaolong, you wash... Oh my god! Why are you wrinkling your forehead!"
Third Sister's scream startled me, and I turned to look at her: "I'm just doing facial exercises."
I suddenly felt very guilty, afraid that Third Sister would know what I was thinking...
"You can't raise your eyebrows or frown your forehead too hard. Did you know that if you repeat this action five million times, forehead wrinkles will form!"
I laughed: "Is there any scientific basis for this?"
The third sister glared: "I'm not lying to you, you are still young now, but if you still don't know how to take care of yourself after the age of twenty-five, then thirty is the watershed. From one to thirty, whether you take care of yourself or not..."
"Third sister." I interrupted her, leaned directly against the door frame, and shook my short hair: "Do you dislike me?"
"I... of course won't, but you have to be beautiful! You are the most handsome Onmyoji! I won't allow you to have that dangerous wrinkle-making behavior!"
"Okay, I won't do facial exercises on purpose anymore. Are you hungry? Let's go cook something to eat first..."
It was getting dark. I put down my chopsticks and glanced at my mobile phone that was still charging. I stood up and glanced out the window again. If Zongbao came to open the window for me, he would definitely come to close the window for me at night. I didn’t want to
I made too much of a fuss, and when I called them to see me off, I couldn’t care less. I didn’t want to talk too much about what happened in the past two years. Now that I’m back, whether it’s meeting friends
Whether it's a heart-to-heart talk or helping to solve something, I want to do it in an orderly manner.
When San Meier was washing the dishes, I wanted to put away the documents. When I opened the drawer, I saw the key inside...
My heart tightened, I took out the key and shook it vigorously, then walked to the door: "Third sister, I'm going out for a while and I'll be back soon."
Third Sister said, "Don't go too far. Did you bring your mobile phone with you? Didn't I say that Zong Bao will be here soon?"
"No need to bring your phone, I'll go upstairs."
"Go upstairs..."
Before San Meier finished speaking, I went out directly. I knew there was no one in his house, but I still wanted to take a look. After walking up one flight of stairs, I took the key and opened the door and went in. I turned on the light.
It was equally clean. It must have been cleaned up by the junior master. His things were still there, and some of his shoes were neatly placed on the shoe rack. I even had the illusion that he was just busy working and would come back when he was done.
When I'm in a bad mood, I can come over and complain with him for a while.
Slowly walking into the bedroom, I looked at the safe that told me the truth. I went forward and opened the numbers that I knew by heart. I wanted to see the photo.
But it was empty. The safe was empty. Compared with the whole room, the cabinet was completely empty. The box was also missing. I thought about what Li Xiaoshi said. He knew that Cheng Baize was in the southwest, and maybe he had gone to find him and wanted him.
Send everything you took away.
I exhaled and stood up directly. When I walked to the door and wanted to turn off the light, I discovered that there were very faint words written in pencil on the wallpaper behind the bedside. I looked closer and saw that it was still the password he had told me countless times. I couldn't help but
Shaking his head, "Silly."
I turned off the light and glanced at the sofa in the living room. Some scenes emerged inexplicably. He rolled down his collar and showed me his shoulders. He looked at me with a smile and said, "Ma Jiaolong, look at me."
, I am not feeling happy at all..."
I saw myself swinging the pillow and hitting him, "Are you bored? Are you bored?"
My eyes were still a little sore, so I walked directly to the balcony, accompanied by the night, and slowly raised the corners of my mouth. Everything seemed like what happened just yesterday... Cheng Baize, I thank you for making these memories so beautiful, although you don't want to
Come back again.
Taking a deep breath, I suddenly stopped turning around and stared straight downstairs. The car lights flashed...
Opening my eyes wide, I held the window sill and looked down hard. I couldn't see the car clearly, but I kept silent for tens of seconds. Behind the scenes, it flashed again!
"Zhuo Jing?"
My heart suddenly tightened. This was an unspoken understanding between me and him. In the past, whenever he came, whenever he flashed his lights, it was at this frequency.
Inexplicably, I lost control. I turned off the lights in a hurry, raised my feet and rushed directly to the elevator. I looked at the slowly rising numbers and pressed them in vain. The frequency of my heartbeat was far higher than these numbers, and I couldn't explain.
What are you worried about?
In the elevator, I stretched out my hand and pressed my heart hard. I was afraid, I was afraid that it would jump out...
It wasn't until the door opened that I ran towards the flashing car I saw on the balcony like a madman. When I got closer, I realized that it wasn't Zhuo Jing's Phaeton. I took a look at the license plate, and it wasn't his either...
There was no one in the car, but my heart felt a little lost. I must have hallucinated it. I lowered my eyes and realized that one of my feet was bare on the ground——
"The Porsche Cayenne is a great car worth more than two million yuan. It's not a waste of time for me to come down and see you..."
I muttered to myself, with emotions that I couldn't explain well in my heart. I turned around and walked silently to the corridor. I actually threw away my useless things, my slippers.
"Hey, are these your shoes?"
The body paused again, and the coolness on the soles of the feet climbed up and the limbs went numb.
"Your shoes?"
The voice continued to sound behind me, and my hands were shaking uncontrollably and clenched. Was this an auditory hallucination?
Two years later, his voice has become much deeper and more resolute, but his tone is still his usual calm tone.
"Hello……"
Turning my head stupidly, I finally saw his face clearly, and my lips opened softly: "Yes... it's mine..."
He frowned slightly: "Ma Jiaolong?"
The liquid was about to surge up, and my mind went blank: "You... know me?"
"certainly."
He put the slippers in front of me and said, "Aren't you going to put them on?"
"Oh, thank you, thank you..."
I responded in a panic, but when I took his shoes and bent down, I felt the tears finally slipping out uncontrollably. I tried hard to hold my breath, raised my body and looked at him, pulling at the corners of my mouth to wipe away the tears: "No.
I'm so sorry... I have some eye problems recently, and I shed tears in the wind... It's trachoma, not keratitis or something..."
He looked at me expressionlessly, nodded, took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to me, then took out one himself and wiped his hands: "Why do you pretend you don't know me?"
"ah?"
I kept crying like a fool, and I wiped it away hard because I didn't want to cry. I wanted to take a closer look at him, but I just couldn't control it. I had no thinking ability in my mind. I just looked like a 250-year-old.
Standing in front of him, "What did you say..."
"Why pretend you don't know me?"
He repeated it expressionlessly, with an untouchable coldness in his increasingly deep eyes: "Are you afraid of me?" (To be continued)
